Portugal, has been under the neces sity of falling back towards Madrid. This Corps consisted of 4006 infantry and 2000 cavalry. It certainly. never could have been BO ot , tsrkitrc!S in tently to penetrate into Portugal:With So small a force as 6000 'Men. We can diq therefore sup pose that his objet was to prevent, t 14t„junction of the British Armies, by inducing• General Moout to fall back upon 'Portugal.: If that was his plan, it completely tailed, and vi hen BIJON,APARTE found that General Mootti, instead of retreating, was ad vancing, he thought it prudent to recall this advanced Corps.

We do riot know uron what authority thisport was totin,.!e,l, and we are not inclined to give it any crtdir • 'lle Opposition Papers are incctsant in their at tacks upon the Report Of. dm Court of Inquiry, and in candour we must admit that they li.ive no small cause to be angry. After all the absurd, can traditiory, and unfounded charges which they pre. tetrad alternate ly. against the Generals and the Mi. nisters, alter all the violence which they displayed„ and the scurrility . ;which they employed, )ve can easily make allowances for the .indign,:tion which they must feel, on the appearance arriaq . tcport IA high comnistely dis;lppointiali their lipi,cs .)111.1 ti us trines all their plans. Tt is really eutertaining to ob.: serve the dit)•;ltetit modes in which the Opposition Writers give, tint to their feelings. Some of them, who a cloy or two ago were ex. eedingly angry with the Report, - now assure Ufi that it lta ihnos(con., vulsed • them with laughter. Others, of a idore sa , • rc'prW C:lt a proper suhjt..64 ror na tional laiiicill:114)11 'and e..i, ix s 1 it l rnoitt t wblittsi-' cal, those who have argutil with tbe rupst..c.ioiOund kravity and logical precision against the'opinion.of the:Coptt of Inquiry, now tell us thzit',,tife Itc-port is too sue to be understood. But the real this eittraoldii,,lry anger, mirth; and. I.inientation,, is at last. let out, With great simplicity and can dour. This Report, we are told, is not otily xague, :but k is unsatisfiranly, , and for the „hest .Of all possible reasons, it not only praises the conduct of Sic ARTllitit Wy.L.LESLBT, but Wilut is noire; as h a d, it throws it° - blame upon Administration. This is perfectly intelligible, and we admit that their anger is very natural ; but after abusing the Report, bectdse it does • nut blame Sir ARTHUR WELLgtiLISV and the Alitsisters, the Opposition Writers vvtifq suddenly round UljOti' us, and assure' us ii}. ll this extraordinary Report does blame both Sir Ativilloa' WB4t.tiss.. a Y and tote-Ministers.

The Members of the Court 9f inquiry Nee are aspred, fiicgiit to say that Ministers, were culpable, in a high degree, leturise the Itepbrt does not recommend any proceedings against the (Veers ; and they meant also to blame Sir Atantilt WEL it6LEY, Peoria the Report contains an high euln gium upon his conduct ! These disc%gie,,, are: fAlowed up by another eTially novel amirintenrotit, {sniffy.. which is, that Ministers have mroifeste:l their desire of stifling all inquiry into the subjea of the Conven tion, by recommending the fullest pnaiblaiinvestiLa• tion into e v ery part oft be business t, We this day resume our Article. On the -Cause% and probable issue, of -Boon RTE'S Unprincipled' attack on Spain, , The Revolutionary Governments which preceded that of BuotswArrit; had frequently attempted to introdnee their principles into Spain ; every effort failed, because Iteligion and the National Charaoler opposed aniusurmountable barrier to their entrance. Still, how'ever, the Riches of Spain ancithe Trea sures of America, presented so alluring a prospeCt of plunder,. that the projeet orobtatning possesSion of them %%is, never wholly abandoned. The obstacles which they were sure of encountering in the Spa. ! nisi' People, if •their Religion, Independence, and Government were openly menaced, and ttrn lin menso adqutages Which France derived from her alliance with Spain, had determined the Cabinet of the Thuleries to reserve the conquest of this King dom for .the last of those which they meditated on the Continent, A variety of causes accelerated the execution of this atrocious design, which they flattered thetnielves t hey should have had lei.ure to mature, and determined them to have recourse:to artifice instead of open violence. .A great has been said of Treaty of Tilsit; of its secret articles, and of its [ciliate consequences; but it has not yet been •ibserved, that the Spanish Itcvoltuien is one of the immediate consequences.of it, although not. foreseen on the part of France. The avowed articles of the Treaty of Tilsit, ex plain, of themselves, those Which are not commu nicated, and which are only secret to the Ltnperor of RussiA, because he is, unable to comprehend their object. It is evident that the plan of BootqAPkture, at Tiihit, was to engage 4.uxopEß in tiwar with ltvy, by promising to add to his empire; already petliaps, too.extensive, some of the Ottotnan Pro vinceS, while the French Armies, lingerieg in Ger., many, under the pretext of completitlg the new or:. ganization of that part of the North of Europe, should,fall uneicpeetedly on Austria, and thus wind up the slavery of the Continent. Ir thaTreaty of Tilsit has exposed in all thetlare of day, the imbecility and pusillanimity of the Env. peror of RussiA, it has also laic of to minds ao ewytomed to reflection on the causes of great events, the ekribarrassing *ituatiot of BuoNAwirits. No one, snrely, will sespe6l BUo,rAtAnrx of ni ; no one m ill accuse him of a religious at. tachinent,to Treaties; -and it will probably be grant .ed,,withunt difficulty,, that it was the most:easy and most advantageous of 1)6 plans, toProfit of the con ditiOn in which the North of Europe' found itself attar the Peace of Tilsit, to execute the project which necessarily makes a part' of the revolutionary System, and to annihilate the House of Austria, The dismeMberment of that Monarchy presented much, Eden in. Poland, to tempt the cupidity of AiEXAN . - DER, and appease the discontent, which the Peace 91 Tilsit had excited in Russia ; it presented indemni. ties for: the King of l'ausmA, and that'too at a mo tnent,when the Courts of Petersburgh and Berlin had some right to murmur at the ill 7 timed lity which had produced their misfortunes and their Ishame. The di,naemberment of the Athtrian narcby 'Offered spoils which- would have thrown back the frontiers of the French Empire, and t)( the Kinadinit of Italy; it Offered augmentAtions of tem. ritory for Vassal Kings, and aborePl4 new king (loins and new principalities tocreat4l! The prepon. deraney ref the.,Frencls - Government in the Ottoman Councils, was established. The measures which Atm'. tilirwas taking to re-organiie'her ;irirly, and . re-creaje her power, formed a sutlicient-pretext for attacking her ; as did the antient rivalry.ofthe two nations, a motive for.believing that this War would be more po.. pular in France than any ether, as it afforded some. prospea of realising the promise, so frequently held: forth, of a continental pace. In this State Of thingK BUONAPAATE ought to have prepared for attacking. Austria; and he unquestionably did so. Why, then;-' has be changed his plan ? Why has he, attacked Spain, and thusgiren Anstriii time to prepare for. defending her existence With 'a force truly - redoubta-; ble, and for forming an alliance with. this Country ;And with Turkey ? And why has he attacked the only country to 'which we can send a powerful army, and all the succours necessary for its de fence ? This is what it is of some importance to ' amine. Too little attention has been given to, the first .a which signalised the return of ritIONAPAIITS to Payis after the Peace of Tilsit. lie had proposed a negotia• fruit to. us through the medium of itessia; wit'hoift . wain tug. for the ansvver, he hastily repaired to Paris, and abrofished the Tribunate l His partisans pietend t hat this was done to'ciimplily the'.:qonstitotion mud give the Legislative' Body . that iognence i t ought to .possess in a free Constitation, But POTI3 fiwour liberty !

He abolished thee ribs (giiiing the Legislative 80dy.....a greater influence, apparently, but, in effeel, depriving it of the only means which it pOssessed of resisting tyranny, supported by pub " licopiniOnY, becatase, by .making war against Prds sia, withimit any communication with the Senate, BUONAPARTE lod violated the Constitution : because, the reverse,s - ot the Polish cainpaign payin g rendered the conscription by anticipation necessary, war was unpopular; because it was expedient to avoid all opposition at an instant when he was meditating an attack on Austria and Turkey, and when a motion made in the Senate for peace, would have probably produced a new change in Prince. It is very doubt. fill whether 890NAPALLTp would have continued at the head of the Revolution if he had lost the battle of Friedland. The abolition of 'the Tribunate occa. sioned, no popular stir, but the cause'of it has had a powerful influence on the policy of the French Go vernment, occasioned the war with Ansi ria to be adjourned, and thp reyoltltiop of Svaiti, to be pretna , turely undertaken.
